One of the things I remember from my amazon employment is a similar draconian policy which is also overbearing due to the fact that Amazon wants to sell everything from all birds knock offs to scaleable databases.
One thing I thought was particular heavy handed was that the policy also stated that in addition to general fears of amazon claiming ownership of your project, if you needed some kind of cloud service, it required you use AWS for those services.
- solidasparagus 7y agoIt's less ridiculous than it sounds. AWS is super careful about not using competing clouds - I think because if AWS employees use other clouds, it opens AWS up to some sort of legal liability/claims of copying.
